Description

The AKG C516 ML is a compact condenser microphone designed for capturing instruments with precision and clarity in both live and studio environments. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the intended sound source while reducing background noise, making it a reliable choice for louder stages or complex setups.

The included mounting options make it easy to attach securely to a variety of instruments or speaker cabinets, offering a practical solution for performers who need consistency and ease of use.
